Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 115 and 116
These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.
Get to know each other, your SRs are!
Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.
Every single question that is asked is important Every single concern is genuine Every single member is important to us We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Hi Nicksmom, I am sorry you have not heard from your son and his wife will not give you the address or division.
The best anyone can do for you is pass the message along that you are looking for him, and ask that he send you the information. The members here cannot pass that along to you!!
Hi all.. My son is in this division and is looking so forward to graduation :) I am so sorry NickSmom your daughter in law won't give you your son's address or division. The next time I talk to my son, I will ask if he knows any Nicks :)
Hi My son is in this division...I sure hope they all are doing good :)
Hi Everyone..My son is in this division also. He has written and told us except for marching in the snow, and even that is not bad....he is doing great. So looking forward to seeing all our recruits on March 21st
I got my son's letter on Tuesday! I was so happy to hear from him! My daughter and I are not going to the graduation. I feel so sad but we don't have the money plus his wife and dad and step mom are going and there aren't enough tickets since they can only give out 4 and I will not leave his little sis behind who has been missing him so badly she sleeps in his T-shirts and sleeps on his bed. Him and his wife got married a week before he left. They haven't even lived together. But they are super cute and super in love! It made me feel better knowing he had someone else writing him and loving him so much. My son wants to spend quality time with me and his sis, so we opted to meet up with him later and spend time with him this summer. I pray it works out. I miss him so MUCH!!! Sometimes I hear him calling mom! It scares me. But he sounded good in his letter :)
